About San Antonio Orthopaedic Specialists

What is San Antonio Orthopaedic Specialists?

San Antonio Orthopaedic Specialists is an orthopaedic practice at 225 East Sonterra Blvd. Suite 220, San Antonio, Texas 78258, in the Stone Oak area. Its phone number is (210) 614-5100. It has provided orthopaedic care to San Antonio and surrounding communities since 2002, and it describes its approach as concierge-style. Most of its work is hip and knee care: joint preservation, joint replacement, tissue-sparing joint replacement, hip treatment, knee treatment, and joint injections, which it offers through Joint Health Specialists. The 6-week peptide therapy series is a separate offering.

The prescribers listed are Brandon Broome, MD, and Madeline Kremer, PA-C. The practice describes Dr. Broome as a board certified, fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeon, and Madeline Kremer as a board certified physician assistant. Neither is listed with peptide-specific training. In its own words: "Includes a full 6-week custom peptide therapy series for joint recovery and wellness support."

What does it cost?

The only published price is for the 6-week peptide therapy series: $500, shown as limited-time pricing against a regular price of $600. A banner also offers $100 off the series for booking an appointment. The practice does not say whether medication is included in the $500. It does not publish a consultation fee for the initial peptide evaluation with Dr. Broome, which new patients are asked to book first. Existing peptide patients reorder by phone. It publishes no prices for its joint care or surgery.

The practice says it accepts insurance for its orthopaedic care and names Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Tricare, and United Healthcare, among others. It does not say whether insurance applies to the peptide series. No financing, HSA, or membership terms are mentioned.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for the peptide series and who reviews your history before the first injection. Ask which peptides are used, since the practice does not name them, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the $500 covers the medication, the injections, and any lab work, and what each costs if it does not. Ask whether the $100 booking savings can be combined with the limited-time price. The practice's material says a future maintenance cycle may be recommended, so ask what that would cost. Ask how cancellation or a refund works if you stop partway through. Finally, ask for office hours and whether any part of care can be done by telehealth, since neither is listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you have hip or knee pain, an orthopaedic injury, or are recovering from surgery, and you want a practice that accepts insurance for its main orthopaedic care. It also suits you if you are weighing the 6-week peptide series alongside that care. If the peptide series is the only thing you want, get the answers above before you book, since the practice's core work is hip and knee orthopaedics.
